   LiteRT Adds Faster GPU Inference in Google Play Services

   Google announced an upgrade to LiteRT in Google Play services, bringing ML Drift-powered GPU inference to the new CompiledModel API. Google says GPU inference runs about 1.4 times faster than the legacy GPU delegate, while apps that remove their bundled runtime are about 8 MB smaller in its testing. The legacy GPU delegate and custom delegate APIs are deprecated, and NNAPI is scheduled for removal starting in 2027.
